PHYSICAL TRAINING IN SCHOOLS

Almost Universal Attention Given Co the
Subject of Afhlctics-A Mistake.
AT no time In the history Of our country
has more attention been given 60 the suhSect
of physical training than is given 10 il at the
present day.
Schools. colleges and Christian associations
are building costly gymnasia, while afh,ctsc
organizations, ball clubs, boat clubs, tennis
clubs, etc, are forming in many Of our towns
and cities
Fifteen thousand dollars Is expended annu-
ally TO bring the Yale and Harvard tsnas
crews together at New London. and IL il esfi-
mated that $50, 600 does not meet the YEARLY
expenses OF the athletic organizations Of
these two universities. Add 90 this sam the
cost OF athletic sports TO the smaller colleges
and city clubs, and the total would foot nm
In the millions
The object OF this outlay Is TO vanauiss,
some rival club, 10 win championshin. 10
beat the record or % furnish recreation ard
amusement TO those who are willing To nav
for It, With the representatives OF our IN
stitutions OF learning, and with portion Of
the intelligent public, the object OF the en-
couragemcnt given to athletics Is to counter
act the enervating tendency Of the times and
TO improve the health, strength and viyor of
our youth
This being the fact, the questions at once
arise, how large proportion Of young men
In the land systematically practice sthleti.si
Probably le~ than per cent
How large proportion Of those who .re
members OF athletic organizations take an
active part In the sports fcstered and patron
lied by their respective clulsi
Probably less than 10 per cent
In the opinion OF the writer the eause for
SO little active interest ia athletics h an in
creasing tendency with US, IA people, 10
pursue sport an emf in itself rather than
as means To an end

When the fays are a;loat in silvery cars,
And the dusky moth Is a rover,
When over the couch Of the dreaming floxcfs

STATE OF TRADE,

The rain falls In the west, southwest and
northwest caus d encouraging reports TO be
sent out In relation TO the crops.
Navigation opened at Detroit on the 18Th,
and 620,5 0 bushels went out. ON the 10Th
1000, 900 bushels followed. Wheat has been
inactive in the foreign markets, but accord
ing to New )rk dispatches, a good export
business was doing.
Predictions are made that corn " III improve
within the week. A Chicago feet VIII be
ready to start in "a few days vita 2.U00,t 90
bushels. Winter wheat has deterioraied
somewhat of late in the entire belt, the causes
being much winter killing and drouth. The
injury has befalien the southern as well as
the central and northern segments Of the
belt, and has included California. There
have been rains Of late In nearly every winter
wheat state, but in the central part the rain
fall has leen light. They are said to be get.
ting in a 'ull crop in the spring wheat belt.
The drouth in Texas, which as been the only
serious offset to a fairly satisfactory situa.
ton in southern crops, has been broken by
abandant rains, and happily in the grain,
cattle and cotton sections, where rain has
bee so urgently needed. The weather In
this region has given farmers excellent op-
portunities for field work.
The cotton market has been tending up
ward. The foreign trade IN March appears
to have been exceptionally favorable TO this
country. Exports Of cotton, breadstuf-,
provisions and cattle and petroleum amounted
to $i7, 599, 627 In value, against $50, 479, IG0
for the same month last year. II the remain
ing exports should show no increase over last
year, while the imports should gain 4 per
cent, as they did a. New York, merchandise
exports would exceed imports by about
81, 500, 200.
A treasury report on the 1st inst. showed
that there were 500, 0O0, 600 IN silver certiG-
Gates in circulation at that date, and more
have since been issued.
1t will take at least a month TO ascertain
the permanent effect Of the iLter. state com
mercc bill.
The receipts Of cattle at Chicago were light
on the Goth. buyers we're bearish, and the
market was slow. Light stock were Grmer.
The hog market was inactive, and there
was a slight decline In price.

says: One OF the most extensive deals ever
originating in Nebraska, and one Of H.. larg.
est yet undertaken in connection with the de.
Veinpineut OF The western %countrg, Is the in.
corporation Ct the Deer Creek Coal company
of Wyoming. The original articles were filed
in the secretary Of states flee today. The
papers rccite that the rincipal place OF bust
ness OF the company is at Glenrock, Albany
county, Wyoming, which is about thirty miles
west OF Douglss ON the line OF the Fremont,
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad. Here

One fifth Of this amount to be set aside for
purchasing and developing the property FOR
coal mining purposes. The limit Of the cor.
p~oration is fifty years. 1t is provided that a
train or railway shall be constructed to the
shafts as they may be opened, and other pre-.
paratfons for mining on an extensive scale.

the same quality as that mined at
Rock Springs, which is probably
the best that has ever been
discovered. One shaft has already
0een put down 40 feet. and another go feet,
finding the coal In inexhaustible quantities.
la this experimental working there has al

The OIL fields In western Wyoming, II the
same nc~ighborhood as the coal deposits, are
among the richest deposits Of the country
THROUGH which the Fremont and Elkhorn
Valley line is extending beyond Douglas.
The president Of the Chicago and North
western system, Mr.. Keep, is largely inter

and dou ,tlcss the industry will be worked to
its fullest capacity, The oil as taken out is
Of excellent quality for lubricatipg purposes,

The coal company will also soon commence
the development of these oil springs, which

The Crow Creek Reservau~r.

Huron, ID. T., April 20.-Throl,. e,veral
reliable sources the following explanation Of
troops being ordered 10 drive settlers from
the Crow Creek reservation is given: Some
time ago the surve. er-general OF Dakota had
an intimation that he would soon receive or
Gers to make surveys Of several townships of
those lands. Bishop Rare, Of Sioux Falls,
passed through here to-day and informed his
friends that the troops, as he understood It,
only had orders TO remove the ~settlers from
the great bend cf the Missouri river, which
is the western boundary line of Buffalo and
the eastern line Of Presho counties. To-day
the encouragement was notified that he
will be required 10 survey several townships
In and on the great bend on both sides OF the
Missouri river, also some around Old Fort
Thompson, and more out on The. White river,
fifty miles from the Missouri. Under the
severalty law the Indians have ,hesen lends
eft these points which they desire allotted To
them, and their choice is being regarded by
ordering the surveys where they elect to
make their homes. There are no settlers on
the west side Of the river In that vicinity.
The most of them who are left on these two
reservations are In the great bend, where
there is an abundance Of timber, grass and
water. The war Will not amount TO much.
